Late spring is a crucial time to fertilize and strengthen new lawns before the stress of summer heat arrives. For landscape contractors, general contractors, and golf course superintendents, applying a balanced 19-19-19 fertilizer provides essential nutrients—nitrogen (N) for top growth, phosphorus (P) for root development, and potassium (K) for overall health. This combination ensures young sod and seeded areas develop strong roots and lush, green coverage, preparing them for the months ahead.
In addition to fertilization, aerification and overseeding help fill in thin areas and improve turf density. Aeration relieves soil compaction, allowing nutrients, water, and oxygen to penetrate deeper into the root zone. For best results, apply half of your seed before aerating and the other half after aerating. This ensures better seed-to-soil contact, improving germination rates and overall establishment.
Overseeding in late spring is especially beneficial for high-traffic areas like golf courses, commercial properties, and newly developed landscapes. It strengthens weak spots and enhances disease resistance, providing a uniform, healthy lawn. Pairing overseeding with the right fertilizer maximizes growth potential, giving turf the foundation it needs to thrive.
